Disposal of unused prescription medications:

Revival Animal Health participates in the Take Away Environmental Return System which provides an environmentally safe destruction program.

The preferred method of drug disposal is to return the unwanted product to a pharmacy that participates in the Take Away Environmental Return System. Seek a local pharmacy that participates in this program for safe disposal.

A secondary method of drug disposal is to remove the unwanted medication from any wrappers or containers and place it in a plastic bag with moist coffee grounds or cat litter. This can be disposed of in the regular garbage collection.

Please do NOT dispose of unwanted meds down the drain or toilet, as this may eventually find its way into the human water supply.

Disposal of medical sharps:

When you're finished with the syringe and needle, do not try to recap, remove, bend or break the needle. This is where most injuries occur.

Dispose the syringe and needle immediately in a nearby sharps container. All sharps must be deposited in a puncture-proof container. Make sure your storage location is child and animal proof.

As with all product handling, make sure you wash your hands after handling medical sharps.

Disposal of sharps container:

When your sharps container is half-full, sift dry Portland Cement throughout the sharps. Fill the container with water, and rotate until the cement is mixed and the sharps have been distributed throughout the cement mixture. Let cement dry for 24 hours.

Seal the lid of the container tightly and use duct tape to seal. Label the container "Livestock Sharps" to properly identify the contents.

Dispose of the containers in accordance with your state's regulations.

Been paying Revival's price for half the quantity that my vet dispenses each month. Glad I checked for a different supply source and was able to save so much.

With this Rx our dog is able to move without pain. The price is much cheaper than buying from our vet.

Help from Revival

My vet declined to fax an order to Revival for Rimadyl. I talked to someone from Rimadyl and was given the information I needed to not only get my dog's Rx but to receive several bottles at one shipping fee.

Rimadyl

By:Sue

From:

"My 12.5 year old dachshund mix (45#) lost a toe to cancer last winter, and has been limping badly ever since. She was on Previcox for pain relief following the amputation, and for several months since. Previcox is extremely expensive and doesn't give her any relief. Following an internet search for a solution, my question to the doctor was a concern for drug interference with her thyroxin (she's had hypothyroidism for years).

The doctor gave a thumbs up for Rimadyl, but did not stock it. Thus we are now using 1 - 75 mg. Rimadyl daily. It works for the first 10 to 12 hours, but she is limping again by evening, thus we do our exercising in the morning, 20 minutes after she has taken her Rimadyl. I love having my bouncy walking partner back, even if it is for only those few hours a day.

Thank you so very much."
